Description

A quirky adventure tale told by a freethinking prankster in the religion obsessed 17th century. It's played out on three continents, and chronicles the power plays of half-a-dozen European nations vying for spoils in the first true world economy. The book's main characters include a devious Oliver Cromwell baiting the Spanish with a Jewish colony in Florida; Dominican inquisitors, Franciscan missionaries, and Jesuit rebel leaders; greedy Dutch slave traders; and a mixed crew of Jewish Indians, soldiers and fanatics, with a false messiah thrown in. A forbidden Jewish-Christian love affair adds to the fun.
